a savings account earns 8% interest each year, compounded quarterly (4 times a year). If a person invests $100 and makes no further deposits or withdrawals, what is the balance in the account after 3 years?​

Respuesta :

Answer:  126.82 dollars

===========================================

Work Shown:

The given values are

  • P = 100 = amount deposited (principal)
  • r = 0.08 = decimal form of the annual interest rate
  • n = 4 = compounding frequency
  • t = 3 = number of years

Which means,

A = P*(1+r/n)^(n*t) .... compound interest formula

A = 100*(1+0.08/4)^(4*3) .... plug in given values

A = 126.824179456254 ..... value is approximate

A = 126.82 ...... round to the nearest cent

The balance of the account after three years is $126.82

Answer:

124 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

.08 times 100 equals 8

eight times three is twenty four

that is the simplest answer. if the question had any further interests it might of been 126 or even 125.97
